Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou, accompanied by sixty guards, rode non-stop all the way to Jiaozhou City.

The local officials, all dressed in their finery, stood respectfully at the city gate awaiting their arrival. Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou rode slowly in on their tall horses, their gazes sweeping over the crowd with dignity and scrutiny.

Governor Zhou and a group of officials hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your humble servant, Zhou Zhiyong, respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness Prince Mu and Princess Furong."

Shangguan Yunting and the others all dismounted and nodded slightly, "My Lords, please excuse the formalities."

His voice is steady and powerful, making people feel his kingly aura.

Shen Rou smiled and said, "Thank you all for welcoming me."

Her eyes are gentle and kind, making people feel like spring breeze.

"Your Highness Prince Mu, Princess Furong, please stay at my residence temporarily. We can discuss other matters after you have rested."

"Sir Zhou, I will take the princess and the guards to stay at the inn. You and Captain Lin will leave the other officials and go back to your own affairs."

"I obey your orders."

Commander Lin walked up to Shangguan Yunting and saluted, "General Lin Shen greets His Royal Highness Prince Mu and Princess Furong."

"Captain Lin, please excuse me."

"Your Highness Prince Mu, Princess Furong, please, I will take you to the best inn in Jiaozhou."

"Lead the way."

After entering the inn, Shangguan Yunting arranged for the guards to rest separately, and he and Shen Rou stayed in two adjacent upper rooms.

They sat around the table with serious expressions, holding maps and intelligence in their hands, carefully studying how to find the pirates' traces.

"Captain Lin, please tell me about the situation in the South China Sea."

Captain Lin said solemnly, "Your Highness, Prince Mu, over the past year or so, pirates have frequently attacked our fishing boats and merchant ships. They act swiftly, robbing them and then escaping into the deep sea. Our navy immediately dispatched forces to pursue them, but we have yet to see any trace of the pirates."

"These pirates are very cunning. They are familiar with the sea conditions and often choose to attack in bad weather or at night. Their ships are well-equipped and extremely fast, making our pursuit very difficult."

His Royal Highness Prince Mu frowned, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

Captain Lin thought for a moment and replied, "Your Highness, I believe we can strengthen our coastal defenses and increase the number and frequency of patrol vessels. Furthermore, we can strengthen the protection of fishermen and merchants and raise their awareness of self-prevention."

"This is a long-term strategy, and I'm here to achieve a quick victory and eliminate the pirates. Otherwise, our fishermen wouldn't dare go out to sea to fish. Fishermen rely on fishing for a living. If they can't go out to sea and their livelihood is cut off, how will the fishermen survive and support their families?"

"Your Highness is absolutely right. I will do my utmost to assist Your Highness in eradicating the pirates. If you have any instructions, please tell me to do them. I will certainly do my best to fulfill them."

"Captain Lin, go find some experienced fishermen. Perhaps they know where pirates often appear. We should have a purpose before setting out to sea. We can't just blindly search for pirates in the deep sea."

"I will send someone to inquire immediately."

Shen Rou suddenly had an idea and said, "After we know the geographical location, we can pretend to be fishermen and go fishing in places where pirates often appear. We can lure the pirates into taking the bait and then catch them all in one net."

Her voice was so clear and firm that Shangguan Yunting and Lin Duwei could not ignore her thoughts.

Captain Lin's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea, but I'm worried that the lured people will be abducted by pirates before reinforcements arrive. Then the pirates will become even more arrogant and provoke our navy."

"Select three thousand men from the navy who are good at sailing and place them on standby. When everything is ready, I will personally lead the team out to sea."

"Your Highness, I have heard that there are whirlpools in the deep sea. It is too dangerous. I hope you can take charge of the operation. I will lead the team to the sea to eliminate the pirates."

"I've encountered all kinds of danger. Pirates are just elusive at sea. If they were on land, they would have been killed by our soldiers long ago."

"Your Highness is quite right."

"Your Highness, you must be tired from traveling. Rest early. I will send someone out to investigate the situation and report back after confirming it."

"it is good."

"I'll take my leave."

After Governor Zhou and Commandant Lin left, Shen Rou and Shangguan Yunting went back to their room to rest. They were all tired after traveling for so many days.

Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou had just arrived in Jiaozhou when two hundred assassins sent by Censor He took a shortcut and arrived in Jiaozhou in advance as new recruits, blending into the navy and waiting for an opportunity to approach Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou.

The next day, Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou came to the beach under the guidance of Governor Zhou. They stood quietly on the beach, looking at the sparkling and endless sea.

The sea breeze gently blew across their faces, bringing a hint of salty air. In front of this vast ocean, they seemed so small, like a drop in the ocean.

In the distance, waves crashed against the rocks, sending up white spray. Seagulls soared freely in the sky, their cries echoing across the vast ocean. The vastness and depth of the ocean made them feel both the greatness of nature and their own insignificance.

"The scenery is really beautiful, but it's a pity that the piracy is rampant and fishermen and merchant ships are afraid to go out to sea to make a living."

"Princess Furong is absolutely right. Fishermen can only fish in the surrounding areas, but there are no fish to catch in the shallow beaches, making it impossible for fishermen to survive."

"Before, when there were no pirates, especially after the end of the world, fishing boats would return to the harbor and it would be bustling everywhere. Now, fishing boats are afraid to go out to sea, and everyone has no seafood to sell."

"I especially like seafood. After I defeat the pirates, I'll try the seafood here."

Shangguan Yunting looked at Shen Rou in surprise. He didn't know she liked seafood. "Xiao Rou, why haven't I heard you mention that you like seafood?"

"My life was hard before, and I was lucky to have enough to eat. Why would I eat seafood? Later, when we were together, we never brought up the topic."

"Princess Furong, I will treat you to a meal. Try the freshly-caught seafood. I guarantee it will be more delicious than what you eat in the capital."

"Definitely."

What Shen Rou didn’t know was that she would feel sick after eating seafood. That’s a story for another time.

At this time, Captain Lin brought several experienced old fishermen to Shangguan Yunting. The weather-beaten faces of these old fishermen were full of traces of time, and their eyes revealed their familiarity and awe of the sea.

"Your Highness, these three fishermen are the most familiar with the deep sea in this area. They have been out fishing many times and have witnessed fishermen being robbed by pirates."

"This old man pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Mu and greets Princess Furong."

"No need to formalize, elders."

A fisherman said excitedly: "Your Highness, with your arrival, we fishermen see hope again."

"Pirates are vicious and brutal, their ships are well-equipped, and they often appear near Dongsha Bay and Nanjiaotan. The waters there are unfathomable. I've heard from the elderly that huge whirlpools often appear there, and ships that encounter them will be directly sucked in. There is no chance of survival. Ordinary ships dare not approach. Therefore, few ships dare to go there."

"Elders, if you dare to take us to that area, if pirates come, you can just board the official ship. I will guarantee your safety."

"Your Highness, we are all willing to take you with us. Only if you eliminate the pirates can we fishermen go out to sea and fish in peace."

"We can rent your fishing boat for bait and charge you based on your daily income."

"It is our blessing that Your Highness can use our fishing boat. We do not charge a penny."

"That won't do. You guys contributed manpower and risked your lives to bring us there, so we have to accept the money."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"We will rent two fishing boats. Tell Captain Lin what you need to go in and out of the deep sea. I will order him to prepare them. Once everything is ready, we will set off immediately."

"Yes."

After thanking the fishermen, Shangguan Yunting began to plan his voyage. He ordered Captain Lin to quickly deploy his troops according to the plan and be ready to depart at any time.

However, the assassins sent by He Yushi had been secretly watching. One of the assassins secretly passed a message to his accomplices, telling them to take advantage of the fact that Captain Lin had selected some skilled sailors to infiltrate the pirates, and wait for Shangguan to defeat the pirates and find the right time to strike.

Back at the inn, they began planning their operation. "Two fishing boats will go first, with two official ships standing by behind them. One official ship will be manned by 1,500 sailors. If we spot pirates, we will immediately signal them. Captain Lin took the order and left."

"Prepare some bombs on the official ship to prevent the enemy from having powerful weapons. If the pirates take the bait, we will take them by surprise. If they escape, we will chase them directly to their lair and destroy them in one fell swoop."

"I'm just worried about running into a whirlpool. That's really dangerous."

"The pirates are relying on the legend of the whirlpool over there to loot fishing boats and merchant ships so recklessly. After taking what they have, they quickly flee back. They think the government won't pursue them, so they are so arrogant and provocative against our navy."

"Follow the plan."

Shen Rou looked at Shangguan Yunting worriedly, but since he was here, there was no reason to retreat, so she could only support him.
